$310 million in 24 hours

He has fingers...he does what he wants

Making millions wasn’t enough for Rockstar Games, so now they have a Guinness World Record to add to their collection.

Guinness World Records has confirmed that GTA IV is officially the highest ever entertainment earner after the first 24 hours of its release. The game generated $310 million, topping Halo 3.

“These records establish GTA IV as the most profitable entertainment release of all-time, far surpassing other video game, film and book releases.”

It seems that the attempts to ban the game have actually increased its sales worldwide. Nice work, Jack.

Strap yourself in for high octane action

Fuzzy dice not included

Following a two year hiatus since the original title, the Juiced series has once again returned to the gaming scene, intent on trading blows of arcade action with EA's perennial racing series: Need For Speed.

While the game won't hit retail shelves until next week, THQ is giving gamers the chance to sample Juiced 2: Hot Import Nights in the form of a single-player demo. The demo will allow players to play out three race goals from the campaign as well as sample a small selection of the cars included. Players will be able to take the Nissan 350Z, BMW M3, Saleen Mustang and - the traditional Aussie hoon car of choice - the Holden Monaro out for a spin.

So if you want to get your wheels spinning, head on over to the Internode Games Network and download the demo.

The Freelance Police return in November

Looks like we're all on the naughty list this year

Along with the first cinematic trailer, the gang at Telltale Games has released more details of the first chapter of the episodic treats on offer in Sam & Max - Season 2.

The first episode will be entitled "Ice Station Santa" and it'll kick off the Season 2 shenanigans on the 9th of November. This episode will see the intrepid duo heading to the North Pole to tackle a foe that is on the side of naughty rather than nice, as the holiday season is filled with Christmas gifts that bring a nasty dose of mayhem and terror.

After "Ice Station Santa" debuts in November, the second episode is scheduled to follow in January 2008. After that's released, following episodes are scheduled to release every month through to the season finale in April, making a total of five games overall for Season Two.
